INNOCENT BOYS IMPRISONED
Whipped Until Willing TO Say Anything.
They Confess to a Crime.

Three years ago, next May, Mahlon
Mccullough and William Puetz, two
boys connected with some of the leading
families of Bayview, were sent to state
prison for three years, upon conviction
OF having shot and robbed August
Grothe, a street car driver. Today
Father Decker, pastor of st Anthony's
church, announces that the BOYS are in
nocent, and that the guilty man has
made himself known to him through the
confessional. He refuses, however, to
divulge the name Of the latter; but has
asked Governor Rusk to pardon Puetz
and Mccullough.
The assault on Grothc was made one
dark night in the suburbs of Milwaukee
in true highwayman style. Grothe re-
fused to surrender his change box and
was shot, it is supposed, fatally. At
sight of the bleeding body Mis-. Grothe
became raying maniac and is now con
fined in an asylum At the trial, de-
tective testified that the boys confessed
their part in the act and robbery Puetz
and Mccullough say that the confession
was forced from them; that for ten days
they were beaten, starved, hung up by
the thumbs and otherwise i'll treated, and
that they confessed to escape starvation.
Twenty witnesses testified to an ahbi,
but they were convicted. Mccullough
Is said to be dying of consumption.

THE ENGLISH PRESS.
They Discuss the Action ofthe United States
Sennte-WiiI There BIO Wnrs

The London Post, in an article on the
passage of the fisheries bill in the United
States senate, says:
We are sure that Mr.. Ingalls, outspoken Bit
terness against England does not represent the
feeling of either the American senate or peo-
pie. On the other hand it would be foolish to
shut our eyes TO the Importance Of the question
involved,
The Chronicle thinks the fact that Mr..
Ingalls, splenitic outburst neither sur
prised nor shocked the more respectable
senators is a far more serious matter than
the dispute itself, and hopes that the
Washington authorities will early dis
claim any community Of feeling with
Ingalls,. The DAILY News" says
Today's kilograms from New York, Montreal
and Ottawa are Of very reassurng character.
Nobody here regarded the violent speeches Of
Senators ingalls,, Hale ami Frye seriously
Even dignitied American senators arenot above
tIat no steps will be taken to exasperate the
quarrel, Gni that the good sense OF Canada
viii insist upon a policy Of peace.
The Standard says:
President Cleveland will probably have the
good sense TO veto the measure, or agree to it
merely in form, as prelude to amicable nego-
tiatons. We protest against the idea OF either
England or Canada being coerced into yielding
q 10! or little Of their rights by such empty
threats. We have nons OF the Interior motives
assigned by Messrs. Ingall' Frye and Hale,
but Americans by demanding such terms as
those indicated, ask more than justice. The
dispute, however, ought not to be beyond The
power Of diplomacy.

Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fc railroad de-
pot, at Richmond, Texas and under
cover of pistol compelled Waterman,
named Gregory, to open the doors Lead
ing to inner Offices They then attemp-
ted to drill through the safe in the sta-
ton agents office After drilling for
some time, the men became impatient and
two'of them went to the residence of Sta
ton Agent Hagen and reused him out Of
bed, telling him the freight house was ON
fire. AS the agent came out of the house
they seized him and forced him at the
muzzle of a revolver to accompany them
to the depot, where, under threats to
take his life if he refused Hagen opened
the safe. The robbers then secured 81
400 in money After rifing the safe they
ordered Hagen and Gregory to remain
quietly in the room at the peril Of their
lives. When Agent Hagen finally looked
out the men had fled 1t is not known
whether they left on horseback or ca
foot. There is no clue to their identity.

Over one hundred guests sat down to
reception and banquet given by the Mag

General Fitz Hugh Lee, of Virginia, and
party, Tuesday night. Senator G. X.
Davis and Governor McGill were among
the guests. Judge ,Flandreau made the

OF Fairfax county, and paying warm
tribute to Virginia, the Gland of brave
men and fair women"
Responding to the toast ''The New
Northwest" Z. V. Smalley thought that
all that remained of the great struggle
was the memory of the courage and ideal
devotion to duty it called forth. His
toast to the descendant Of eight Horse
Harry was drank standing with many
hearty cheers.
General Johnson recalled some amusing
"reminiscences of Gen. Lees early adven
lures in fighting Indians in Texas, and
called upon General Lee himself to re-
spond to the toast ''The New South. "
General Lee declared meetings of this
sort would do great deal of good. If
we had known each other better before
the war, that struggle might have been
aYerted.

Murdered his Mother.

New YORK, October Ga suburb,
eIslip, L. l., was aroused to high pitch OF
excitement in consequence of the finding
of the body of Mrs. Franklin Hawkins, an
old and respected villager. The body
was found in the woods short distance
north of the railroad station. The head
and body were covered with wounds, IN
dicating that there had been a fearful
struggle. At first the authorities were
dazed and could form no theory as to the
motive for the crime, but from certain
movements and actions of young son Of
the murdered woman. suspicion pointed
to him as the perpetrator of the deed and
he was arrested. He has since confessed
that he is guilty of the crime. 1t occurred
from quarrel that took place at the time
when young Hawkins announced to his
mother his intention of marrying Miss
Schreck, who was a servant in the family

Wishing for the New Road.

reach Great Falls soon, and every nerve is
being strained to get the Montana Central
track in to Helena, which will probably
be accomplished very early in November
The people of Helena are looking for
ward to its coming as to a special deliver
ance. Their experience with the North
ern Pacific has resembled that of Butte
with the Union Pacific, though of course
not exactly in the same manner nor to
such an aggravated extent. The result
will be that when the new road gets to
Helena it will meet with a very warm and
cordial reception, and will undoubtedly
get away with large share of the rail.

Col BroadWater remarked the other
day that he would soon give the Northern

iron to Helena for the Montana Central

WHAT THE MINERS SAY.
Notes on New Enterprises-The Wes
Jay Gould Mining Company
Incorporated.

The Drum Lummon Company has es-
tablished electric lights at Marysville.
!, The Jay Gould mine sent recently q
S27, 900 bar of silver to the Helena assay
office
A. s. Esler of Helena has bonded the
Hidden treasure mine at Castle Mountain
for $4,000 and has paid $4,000 forfeit.
The Cumberland mine in the same dis
trict has been sold The Yellowstone is
under bond for $4,000.
Many new quartz mills are to be erect
ed in Alaska.
New placer diggings have been found
ou the tributaries of Kanisou lake in
nerthern Idahe.
The Rocky Mountain Husbandman says
that crosscut run from one of the lower
levels of the Mountain Chief mine at Nei-
hart developed solid vein of galena ore
four feet in thickness. This vein is net
only rich but free smelling and will run
with ease in the company's smelter. The
company have four men engaged in TAX
ing out this ore and expect to make run
in short time. The lead seems to have
no connection with the one originally
worked, but is simply parallel vein on
the same claim.
A st. Louis company has bought elus-
ter of quartz mines near Emigrant gulch,
Meagher county, from W. d. Cameron.
There Is now tri-weekly stage from
Livingston to the Castle Mountain mines.
FL. F. Brown says that the winter work
on the Cinnabar coal mines will be con-
fined to running tunnels and placing the
mine in good working order.
The Philipsburg INail says: The at
tention of capitalists is called to the pos
sibiiities of the district in the immediate
vicinity OF Silver lake. With the excep-
ton Of perhaps less than half dozen
mines or prospects the region is entirely
unprospected, and of these half dozen or
less there is not one which is not known to
be rich, nor which with capital ano proper
management, could not be made divi-
dend payer. The distance of Silver lake
from Phillipsburg is about fourteen miles,
and the hauling of ore from that point to
the Philipsburg railroad depot would be
over good roads and down grade. The
ore runs higher in gold than does that in
the neighborhood of Philipsburg, and is
generally free-milling.
The West Jay Gould Mining Company
has been incorporated recently with
$2,500,0 900 capital. The incerporators who
include prominent stockholders of the
Bank of Great Falls are as follows:
Francis l. Kane, D. NJ. Sutton, George
Martin, ]. w. Carpenter and Horace B.
Kane. The principal Office will be at Hell
ena with branch Office in London, Eng
land. The company's property is about
300 feet west of the Jay Gould mine,
which has paid $71 600 in dividends since
February, and has divided $230,O0O in all
during the eight months that it has been
ia operation.
